"At this popular restaurant tucked just off of the 17th Avenue main strip, co-owners Fay and Pat Bruney serve a range of Jamaican specialties: patties filled with ground goat, beef, or chicken, braised oxtail and beans, roti, curried goat, and, of course, jerk chicken. For dessert, try the gizzada, a pastry shell stuffed with a mix of spiced coconut and sugar. Simply Irie’s patio is a great spot to have a casual bite and enjoy a rum-based cocktail or two in the summer. [$-$$]" - Dan Clapson
